Golf tournament restrooms in Saint Paul run on a simple math problem: how many golfers, how many hours, how many holes. A one-day charity scramble with 80 players usually needs 2 to 3 standard units placed at turn points, while a multi-day member-guest event calls for a restroom trailer near the clubhouse.
Start with player count, then spread the units across the course instead of clustering them at the clubhouse. A field of 100 to 150 golfers on an 18-hole course typically needs units at the 4th, 9th, and 14th holes at minimum, plus a bank near the pro shop for staff and spectators. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the baseline for worker sanitation at 1 toilet per 20 people, and tournament directors in Saint Paul often use that ratio as a starting point even though spectators aren't covered by the rule. If the field includes a pro-am or member-guest format with carts running both nines simultaneously, double up at the turn. A porta potty rental in Saint Paul placed at each turn point cuts down on cart traffic and keeps pace of play from stalling. For upscale member events, a deluxe flushable porta potty at the turn reads a lot better next to a beverage cart than a bare-bones unit does. Courses hosting a qualifier or association event should also check ADA restroom requirements, since ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit in any cluster, and never fewer than one no matter how small the group. If you're not sure how many units the layout demands, the how many porta potties do I need guide walks through it hole by hole.
It depends on the tier of the tournament. A weekend charity scramble can run fine on standard porta potty rental units at $125 to $400 for the weekend, based on measured pricing across the market. A club championship or invitational with catering and a tented reception usually upgrades to a luxury restroom trailer or a 2 stall restroom trailer, both of which handle higher foot traffic near the 18th green without the line backing up during a shotgun start. For events expecting more than 150 guests at the clubhouse, an 8 stall restroom trailer keeps wait times down during the awards presentation. Every unit still needs the same footprint consideration: a standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so tucking one behind a cart barn or maintenance shed usually works without touching sightlines. Trailers need more room and a level pad, so plan delivery access before the tournament committee locks the site map. Pair any restroom placement with a handwashing station rental near the concession tent, since 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a hand-drying device at washing stations, not just sanitizer. Courses running their own grounds crew through the event should also glance at construction site services if there's active renovation work happening alongside play.
Put them where golfers already stop: tee boxes with a wait, the turn, and anywhere carts gather. Avoid greens and fairway sightlines entirely, both for pace of play and for the pro shop's sponsors who paid for clean signage backdrops. Saint Paul courses running tournaments through late spring and fall should also review porta potty in winter guidance if an event lands on the shoulder season, since freeze protection changes servicing intervals. Delivery trucks need a clear approach, and if the tournament also brings in a dumpster for hospitality tent cleanup, a roll-off dumpster rental needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck to place safely. Golf courses in West St. Paul, 4.3 miles south of Saint Paul, and Maplewood, 8.8 miles northeast, are inside typical same-day delivery range, so committees planning a tournament in those areas can generally coordinate timing without extra lead time. For weather delays or a rain date, an emergency porta potty rental can fill a same-day gap. Once the layout is set, run it past the porta potty placement guide to confirm clearance and ground stability, since ADA Standards section 302.1 requires the surface under and around an accessible unit to be stable, firm, and slip resistant.
| unit | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard | weekend | $250 |
| deluxe | weekend | not measured for weekend; see week |
| ada | weekend | $240 |
| trailer | weekend | $2,000 |
Two to three weeks is safe for a standard weekend event; four to six weeks is better if you want a trailer, since trailer availability is tighter and delivery needs a level pad plus clear truck access.
Yes, if units are clustered anywhere on the course. ADA Standards section 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit per cluster, and courses hosting an association-sanctioned event should treat that as a floor, not an option.
Not directly on sightlines. Place them just off the cart path near tee boxes or the turn, set back enough that they don't appear in tee shot photos or sponsor signage.
A deluxe flushable porta potty includes a flush mechanism and a nicer interior finish, better suited to member-guest events. A standard porta potty rental covers general spectator and player needs at lower cost.
Placement on private club grounds generally doesn't trigger the same review as public right-of-way placement. Confirm specifics with the city before finalizing, since permit rules vary by parcel and event size.
